Hi my sims 3 works fine with mods and cc, but now that ive been making a sims series, I need nraas mastercontroller since it is a scifi and has many animations. But the thing is my sims cant run nraas. It was fine for the first few weeks but now its started ultra freezing like it did in my past games and I dont know how to stop it. Everybody elses computer can run nraas just fine but my game cant I want to know why before i run out of time to make my series. Thank you.
@glitterglich Is your computer a pc or mac? If your computer is a pc please post your computer's dxdiag - thank you
Hi, my family is still doing the ultra freeze thing where it lags but the world keeps moving at whatever speed its on (trees, water, birds etc) but now another family of mine crashes right before loading the town. Not sure if this is related to nraas or not but its definitely a problem because now 2 games arent working heres my dxdiag.
@glitterglich First thing I notice is your system drive only has 11.3Gb free space out of 160Gb. This is NOT enough free space to run the windows operating system. I don't know why ASUS partitions the system drive (c) like this. More then likely this is your primary lag cause. At this point temp files used by apps and the operating system are probably fragmented and causing delays in reads and writes. Your integrated video chip is also using your system memory and that could really affect performance especially if free memory is low. If you are a casual Windows user you need to increase the system drive (volume). The video chip is not in the game database and may not be configured for the game correctly causing additional issues of performance. As the AMD A series really doesn't have dedicated video memory (it reserves an area of main memory which is DDR3) and some other engineering of the A series processor I would not recommend an A series AMD video chip for 3d gaming. It just does not perform like a dedicated video chip with its own memory.
If your computer is a desktop it MAY have a mirco atx motherboard and I see a video card slot. It really really needs a video card (recommend mid range card) installed. It will help the video but won't fix the storage. Depending on the card you select you may need to upgrade the power supply at the same time.
Thank you so much for analyzing this. After i clean out my C drive some of the lag will be fixed but the AMD driver is all that I have so how do i register it with the sims, do you know what steps I have to perform to fix the issues you brought up?
@glitterglich here is a link to a how to - link - new graphics card It's a little tricky but this works. The device driver is not the problem - it is how the game itself configures the video chip.
It still crashes after i configured the video chip (steps) and cleared out my drive. I dont know if this is because the link you gave me says that its not configured if i cant find the 0x6819 text in the graphicscards.sgr file but I could. And i still did the steps and it just reset all my settings. So i guess ill have to undo them. And reset my presettings. And my driver was working fine a few months before, its not new to my game so I dont know what I should do now. Any ideas?
@glitterglich You should tag the person you want to respond (@ plus the user name) so I know you still need help. If you remove the mod does the game return to normal?
@roberta591So sorry, im new to this xD Anyway, when i delete the mod to the first family i said i had problems with, the game still crashes and lags. And my other family still crashes right before loading the town.
@glitterglich If you remove the mod and start a new game does it crash?
